So! All of you Macheads (and laptop users in general), what do you think of this case?
Have in mind that: I hate laptop handbags or messenger bags. I think that a sling bag is classier and somehow more comfortable than a classic backpack. I know it’s kinda expensive (40$ for shipping in Greece, for chrissake), the super protection one (with the sleeve) costs about 120$ (90 euros), but I’m kinda willing to pay the price.
I’m waiting anxiously for your opinions and counter arguments! Where did you get your case?
(You know what that means. It means that the Macbook D-day is close.)

Very pretty indeed. I was just about to start putting money aside to buy a MacBook until I read that MacBooks are the most toxic laptops on the market. Obviously, I’m not too stoked about the news.
I guess I’ll hold off on buying a new bag as well…

Trendy but a bit expensive… Why don’t you search a bit more ?

@ P.J.: I’m willing to take the risk. Ask me again in a few years, when my third arm comes out!
@ John: I know it’s expensive…I’ve searched amazon, ebay, most companies… Bear in mind that not all cases are for 13.3” laptops…

Well, it’s not particularly toxic for us, but when it gets dumped in a developing country, someone else may have a third arm come out.

@P.J. Well, first of all you probably misread Greenpeace’s info. Most (if not all) personal computer companies still use toxic materials. The difference is that Apple has not even set a date for removing them.
@sug: I don’t particularly like the case — I’m generally fond of more classic designs. For my 2002 Titanium Powerbook, I had a WaterField thick sleeve. It was of excellent quality, very rugged yet very smooth/soft inside, but not of particularly interesting æsthetics. It cost quite a bit and shipping to Europe was also considerable. But it did allow me to throw the tibook in any bag without worrying about it. For my Alubook I’m using a Brenthaven shoulder bag. It’s comfortable, spacious and quite large. Again not exactly interesting æsthetically, but quite comfortable and spacious for everyday use.

I bought another case, anyway. Messenger bag, but not the classic black one, a dark blue, really nice, almost 45 euros.
